LOCATION: PARIS “I’m happy you’ve finally gotten over her, Tony. I agree that Harriet is a wonderful lady, but she is not for you. She loves someone else. You should find someone to love, too.” Rachael said, glad her brother was finally moving on from his long-time unrequited love. Tony sighed and leaned on his chair. He had just returned from New York after witnessing Evelyn’s arrest. He had to leave New York to get over Harriet. He knew that if he stayed with her, he’d never fully get over her. “You know what? To celebrate this, why don’t you go out and have some fun? I’ll call some of your friends and have them join you.” Rachael suggested, and before he could refuse, she was already on a phone call with his friends. It had only been two days since he returned. Tony was sure he wasn’t in the mood to party, not after everything that had happened in New York. He just wanted to lay low for a few days, resume his work at the hospital and slowly get his life back in order. But,
Later that night, Tony didn’t want to leave Lily’s side. He sat there as she served other people, ensuring she was alright. But, as much as he didn’t want to leave, he had to go. It was late, and as a doctor, he had to be at the hospital the next day. Tony stood up to announce to Lily that he would leave, but she was now swamped. Her table had become full, and she could barely converse with him. She smiled sadly at him and begged him to understand, which he did. He wanted to get her number to keep in touch, but with the crowd of people there, it would be impossible. So, Tony left the club feeling sad and moody.“Well, how did it go? I can already tell that you didn’t drink much. I was expecting to bring you a hangover medicine this morning, but I can see that you are perfectly fine. That’s disappointing.” Rachael sighed and sat on his bed. She also noticed that he was disturbed, but, knowing her brother, he would keep his problems to himself.“I had a good time at the club, but I
“Welcome to TM hospitals, Miss Arnold. I look forward to working with you, too.” Tony shook her, feeling her hand for as long as he could. It was almost as though they had forgotten about everyone in the room, as they were both lost in each other’s eyes. It wasn’t until Tony realized he had been holding her hand for too long that he pulled away and cleared his throat. He saw the look on the faces of the other nurses and realized that it must have been awkward for them.“Alright then, Miss Arnold. Get familiar with your colleagues and the hospital. I’ll be in my office. Feel free to reach out to me if you need anything.” He said and finally excused himself. Lily couldn’t help but smile as she watched him walk away. “You guys know each other, don’t you?” One of the nurses asked, and as Lily turned to give her an answer, she realized that all eyes were on her.This was an awkward situation, and she hated awkward situations.“I won’t say we know each other. We ran into each other
Louis marched towards her with his nose flared up, and Lily immediately knew what was coming, so she screamed and ran. “What is wrong with you, Louis? What are you doing?” She cried, running away from him. “How dare you cheat on me and come back here? Who is he? Who’s the man!?” He yelled and threw a vase across the room, causing lily to scream. “There’s no man, Louis. I swear. I work at a hospital. I told you about it this morning. I told you I’d be working as a nurse at TM Hospital, and you were okay with it. Why are you suddenly being like this?” She cried. “I don’t believe you. You think I don’t know that you’ve been trying to leave me? You’re using that as an excuse to meet another lover of yours.” He said, and before Lily could run further, he grabbed her neck and slammed her to the wall. “Tell me who he is, or I will kill you.” He threatened, pressing his hand on her throat. Lily coughed and gasped for air, begging him to let her go. “I’ll show you everything.
Unknown Number: [I should have said that first. Forgive me. This is Tony Martinez. I got your number from your employee file] Lily’s breath seized as she read the text. She stared at the text continuously to be sure she wasn’t seeing things. “Why is he texting?” She asked herself and stood up to lock the door so that she could be sure that Louis wouldn’t barge in. Even though he was out, she knew how easy it was for him to run back home and sneak in on her when she least expected it. Lily saved the number and sent a reply. Lily: [Hello, Dr Martinez. Yes, everything is alright.] She stared at her text for a whole minute before she made up her mind and sent the text. A few seconds after her text, he read it and typed again. Dr Martinez: [You left the hospital in haste yesterday. I just wanted to be sure that everything was alright with you.] His reply came in, and Lily’s mouth parted in shock. She remembered bumping into him while running out of the hospital, but she
“So, Miss Arnold. Why did you run home yesterday? I want the real reason, not that lie you made up earlier.” Tony said. Lily’s eyes widened at his question. “W-what are you talking about, Sir?” She stammered and lowered her head. She couldn’t let him see her face as it would immediately give her away. “Don’t be scared, Miss Arnold. I mean no harm. You are my staff, and I am only trying to ensure you’re alright.” Tony assured her when he saw her fidget. “Now, Miss Arnold. What happened yesterday?” He asked again. If it were another staff, Tony wouldn’t have bothered. The affairs of his employees outside the office didn’t concern him, and he had no right to ask, but this was Lily. He couldn’t brush off what he saw, and if anything happened to Lily, he would blame himself. So, he needed to know why she was so disturbed. “I already told you, Sir. I had a call from my mother. I had to rush home and attend to her.” She sighed and hoped he would let her go. But Tony shut his eyes
“Get your fucking hands off her!” Tony growled as he punched Louis in the face. The force from the hit made Louis fall to the ground. Lily screamed, thinking it was an attack from a thug, but when she looked up and saw Tony, she sighed in relief. “Dr Martinez! What are you doing here?” She asked a few seconds later as he helped her stand. “Oh God!” Fear gripped her as she saw Louis standing in front of her with a frown on his face. His eyes went down to where Tony held her, and they widened. “He’s the bastard you’ve been cheating on me with, isn’t he?” Louis asked with red eyes, using the back of his hands to wipe the blood off his injured lip. Lily shook her head and tried to explain, but Tony stepped before her and shielded her from Louis. “How dare you lay your hands on a woman? You’re a fucking coward, do you know that?” Tony was angry. Seeing Lily in that state awoke something he never knew he had in him. “Why don’t you mind your fucking business? She is my gi
